chev truck
Jim we had one of those trucks once, ours was built in Melbourne early in 1941 and it's army number was 29678. I found out that the next truck also a chev 29679 was wrecked about June 1941 that's how I dated ours. The front mud guards were widened to take the 18 inch tyres, the cab on that chev is Australian built you tell by the side vents in front of the doors. Our truck is now in held by the Australian War Memorial in Canberra and if you go to Keith webbs old cmp site there should be some photos of it.
The cross on the door of that chev is most likely the red cross or maybe medical services. Also the tray isn't original as they had an all wooden tray with high sides. They certainly are a nice old truck.
